Certain extremely cool people already have a Life Before the Dinosaurs t-shirt, and now you (yes, you!) can join this exclusive club. The t-shirt is currently not available anywhere else. This is your big chance!
This white shirt features Art's own drawing of Eldonia above the words lifebeforethedinosaurs.com. Just leave a comment on this post about your favorite creature featured on the blog so far, or about what you like about the blog in general. Only one entry per reader. I'll use randomizer to select a winner next Saturday, July 23rd. We'll ship to anywhere in the world!
My favourite creature is Opabinia (ever since I read about it in Wonderful Life). However, my favourite blog post is Orthoceras, because now when people ask me what that polished rock is on my desk, I can tell them the answer.
ReplyDeleteTribrachidium, without a doubt. Trilateral symmetry!
ReplyDeleteYou can't spell "Wiwaxia" without "Wiwaxia"!
ReplyDeleteDefinetly Anomalocaris, loved them on first sight. Schinderhannes has the cooler name though (especially if you live in germany) but no doubt it's Anomalocaris
ReplyDeleteAmplectobelua definitely.
ReplyDeleteHallucigenia. Cool-looking, with a killer-cool name.
ReplyDeleteI vote for 'Dimetrodon', my favorite synapsid. However, if Art would only write up 'Meganeura', my favorite Carboniferous bug, I shall change my vote.
ReplyDeleteSuper difficult to choose, but I'd say Dunkleosteus. It ate everthing (even its own) AND had eyeballs with armor! Your Gmaw is so proud of you!!
ReplyDelete@ Ken D.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to do Meganeura for you tomorrow!
Dinomischus. Just love that they look like flowers. Even more, Art, I love that you have started this blog and that you continue to explore and write (and now feature your artwork!). This is a wonderful expression of who you are. Keep it up, buddy.... Mrs. J.
ReplyDeleteCothurnocystis, because it's such a strange and alien looking organism.
ReplyDeleteHmm... I'm going with Tullimonstrum. Mysterious and (I think) cute! Gotta love the name, too.
ReplyDeleteAmplectobelua wins for the best-sounding name. That's my favorite :)
ReplyDeleteI like this blog because you're such an excellent writer. Elrathia is my favourite.
ReplyDeleteArthropleura. The thought of encountering one of those in the wild is thrilling and humbling. (Not to mention terrifying!)
ReplyDeleteBy the way, thanks so much for doing Meganeura. They're gorgeous!
You're welcome!
ReplyDeleteCooperoceras for sure, cause he reminds me of a pokemon :)
ReplyDeleteDimetrodon.
ReplyDeleteLanarkia. Not often you find a fossil that's almost entirely limited to Scotland! I think there's a third sp, by the way. L lanceolata?
ReplyDeleteGreat 'blog! Keep it up.
I love Life Before the Dinosaurs!
